I just asked chatgpt what it would have expected us to have paid. At a guess of $229, it was way off. We paid less than half that. The only item it guessed moreorless accurately were the bhajis.

>pre-packaged food
Unless you know how to haggle with the department managers at your local supermarkets, prepackaged foods can be cheap af with couponing and sales and deals and rewards. I went on my own early this morning after my run, just as the store was opening and right after I showered (the lights weren't even on yet for the first few minutes I was browsing aisles) and managed to to chat up the produce manager as she was gathering produce for the rubbish heap. I asked "is all that going in the trash?" and she said
>yeah, and it's a fuckin' shame–pardon my French!
"That cauliflower looks perfectly fine. I've bought heads that looked worse"
>you want'em? I can package'em with a label for ya
So she printed a label for bananas and stuck them to the packaged cauliflower, 53¢/lb
Then we went out later in the morning, me, missus and kiddo.
